The more I look at this (and that Sunfire) the more I want to buy them and break my “MCU only” vow.

See? They’re not ALL statues… just a few of them… and I think that’s not terrible. I’m glad I preordered this wave, and I’m just waiting to be able to get Ajak and Thena!

Passing on the Vulture, but I hope I can get my hands on a Thena.

I wanted to be more excited about the Quicksilver in the wave since he’s my most wanted character that I was missing… but this figure is just too good. It’s the one I can’t wait to get.

And you make my point as well: the fact that until I was in my 20’s to buy my own figures means that from 0 to 20 people bought me toys. A parent won’t buy a 25 dollar for a 5 year old, but how about a 12 year old? For a birthday, or a holiday. And what about friends or family? A kid could end up with a cool collection if they wanted it. The fact that kids don’t buy as much as we do, does not mean they don’t buy at all. And your point that “most teens are more into video games than action figures” is ridiculous, most adults aren’t into games and action figures, does that mean we don’t matter to the business either? Anyway, wave sounds cool, hope Havok is in starjammers costume, it’s one of the remaining comic figures I’d buy.

Man, how old are you? I know I was already in my 20’s when I started buying my own figures… all the ones I had before were bought as gifts, or just because I was the first child in a small family with uncles without children. I know I lived a financially privileged childhood and that my experience is in the minority, but I know for fact that parents do indulge in kid’s wants every now and then. And it’s true too, kids always want stuff, they may not always get it, but want is something they do. I have two cousins under the age of 10. One plays video games and the other loves toys. By my statistics, that’s 50/50. Is that accurate? No, but it’s as accurate as your statement and disdain for younger generations.

I understand why many of you prefer the way these look over the ML, but I have a feeling that those are gonna be just as dynamic, with better likeness, and cheaper once someone gets them in hand. The only thing they’ll have over ML is the accessories. I have no proof but have no doubt.

My guess is something Shang Chi related, with the movie out and a week and a half to avoid spoiling anything... maybe a Wong/Abomination 2-pack?

Because we understand the science. If we had all taken it seriously from the beginning we wouldn’t be dealing with variants that occur when the virus mutates to better adapt to surviving. If we do not eradicate the virus, it doesn’t matter how immune you are, you will always be at risk unless the virus can’t find hosts to mutate in. You read comic books, you understand mutants and evolution, right? Even if I were as selfless as @Virtualzach, taking care of others ends up taking care of myself. Hope you stay healthy and no one you know suffers from the consequences of this.

Just watched it last night. It was awesome. I loved everything in it, the costume design, the production design for Ta Lo and it’s creatures, the lighting and color in the photography. And the story, I related to Shang-Chi’s troubled upbringing in a non-criminal but ideology conflicting house. It even made me not hate Awkwafina, so that’s something I give kudos to. 10 out of 10 rings from me.

1. Cosmo 2. Alligator Loki 3. Falcon (FATWS suit) 4. Fenris 5. Agatha Harkness

I'm so happy to only be getting Strange and JJ, the black and gold spidey looks cool... but I'm not sure I want it yet... and the other suit just looks like the iron spider one 😕

Yeah, I’m out, I’m not liking this. But I will buy a Carnage Marvel Legends if it comes out, looks amazing.

This is convincing me to get it. I might, but I’m pretty spent.

Might get Mysterio if I find him. Just for the fx

The only must for me so far is Sylvie, but I'll probably pick them all up to build that Watcher... been waiting for a shot since forever and I just can't seem to find the Select version.

I don't get it. Do we like toys or do we like complaining?

This looks fun, I wonder what the game play is like? Feels a bit like Final Fantasy, but I could be wrong.

My 2 favorite words: Target and Exclusive. FML. Let's see how, when, or if he shows up in Mx, because all 3 most recent ML Target exclusives have been wants from me ¬¬

We have a guitar with Spider-Punk... but that's why I say we need a Scott Pilgrim line with Build a Drumkit waves, so that we can get Sex BobOmb, Clash at Demonhead, and Crash and the Boys sets and instruments.

I would've sworn he described the other side of the PC crowd... complaining and pretending those figures would never get made because of some deal with Disney prohibiting it. What would I know, right? I only read what's written here.

Yup, picking up Iceman. Those Carnage claws are an inspired pick for this!

What if... they give us a Falcon in the What If...? wave?

Depending on how Ice Man looks, I'll get him. He's my favorite mutant, and probably favorite hero... so even if I'm not collecting comic figures anymore, Iceman is an exception.

That would suck for me, I really want that Wilson Falcon (not dissing on Torres' Falcon possibility, I'll probably want it too)
